Mecca of the “B” Team

Exactly.@Mecca makes a lot of valid points. Having said that, if Lebron's not bought in, the rest of the roster won't follow suit. You'd have to be an elite established coach to turn that thing in LA around; only Pop, Spo and maybe Kerr have any type of cache to stand up to Lebron in terms of active coaches given their respective resumes. Vogel's not in the same league as those guys. In the end, he'll be gone.
This isn't hard to understand.
I'm not going to shit on Vogel. He's a decent Coach.
But, he has clearly lost this roster.
LeBron checks in and out at will.
LeBron decides if he plays.
LeBron decides on play calls.
Is some of that well deserved Superstar treatment?
Yes.
Guy is the 2nd best player EVER.
But, when that treatment undermines the authority of the Head Coach, its a problem.
Vogel might as well be David Blatt. You know, the guy they fired because he couldn't hold LeBron accountable?
He's allegedly a pretty good Coach too.
Still got fired.
